FAMILIES

We are committed to strengthening families and the communities they live in through the provision of quality, affordable homes and resident services.

Rising rents throughout the region have created enormous financial challenges for families. We provide affordable housing to relieve families’ financial burdens so that they can live securely and stably without compromising essentials such as food and health care.

Our focus on resident services helps families thrive, and with the help of the Avesta NeighborWorks HomeOwnership Center, many go on to buy homes of their own. We’re proud to have residents from all over northern New England, the U.S., and the world.

It is beneficial for me and family to live here because of my children. Both Pedro and Liria go to school nearby and take full advantage of the nearby resources such as Boys and Girls Club and after school sports. I don’t need to worry for our safety. I feel incredibly safe living within the Avesta community. Being able to live in the city makes it easy for us to get proper medical attention, which is also great.

I am lucky to live in an affordable apartment. It gives me and my family the opportunity to focus on work and school and not stress so much on high rent. I also don’t need to worry about the safety of my family being here. Avesta provides a safe and secure building. Avesta provides great services.
